Do you still need to be checked frequently after pelvic cancer surgery and radiotherapy?

Patient's question:

Mother was diagnosed with pelvic cancer last week and confirmed lymph node metastasis. She had undergone surgery once before and radiation therapy three times, but later felt unwell. Does she still need to be checked? I ask if it's necessary to have frequent check-ups after surgery and radiation therapy for pelvic cancer?

Doctor's answer:

If pelvic cancer is in the advanced stage with extensive metastasis to nearby organs or even distant organs, the chances of treatment are not very high. If surgery is possible, it should be performed first. After surgery, there are two options:
1. Taking traditional Chinese medicine (TCM): TCM actually has a strong anti-cancer effect and can also kill remaining cancer cells. Additionally, it can boost the immune system and enhance the body's own anti-cancer capabilities. The characteristic of TCM is that it has no toxic side effects. TCM can completely stabilize the condition, control its progression, improve quality of life, and prolong life.
2. Chemotherapy combined with TCM: TCM can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, kill cancer cells, regulate immunity, and enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
